Are you sure it's here? "
Thor looked around and asked suspiciously. At the moment, he was dressed like a tourist, standing on an old platform. In front of him was a bumpy concrete pillar, and above him was a rusty iron beam. Apart from them, there were only a few dozen passengers on the platform, and they all seemed to be locals.
"Yes, it's here." Seth, who was also dressed as a tourist, said affirmatively. After that, he smiled again. "For a big shot like you, I'm sure you're looking at those first-tier and second-tier big cities. After all, there are enough IMAX screens there, and there are plenty of rich people who are willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to buy a Captain America figurine or a picture of your face. However, there are many small fourth-tier and fifth-tier cities like this place in this country. They're unknown, and the only time outsiders hear about them is when they're involved in some bizarre news about people's livelihood.
"Although the prices here are lower than in big cities, the income level is lower. The economy is not dynamic, and young people can't find suitable jobs. Coupled with the high housing prices, many people are forced to leave here and work in big cities. The population is in a state of net outflow all year round, and the rest are the elderly. The economic development is even worse. "
"Why are you telling me this kind of thing?" Thor said indifferently. "I'll remind you again, I have broken seven of your ribs. Before sunset tonight, if you can't take me to my wife, I will break all the remaining bones in your body one by one, then cut off your head and sew it on the neck of a dog. Anyway, your jackal head matches well with a dog's."
"Let me make a correction. My head is actually an animal called a Seth Beast, not a jackal. It's just that many people got it wrong and spread false rumors …"
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about this kind of thing." Thor rudely interrupted the God of Chaos. "Lead the way."
"It's my pleasure to serve you." Seth's temper was very good, and he didn't seem to care about his broken ribs at all. He even made a gesture of invitation.
As the two walked out of the train station, Seth waved, stopped a taxi, and said to the driver, "Go to Qinfan Road in the old city."
Thor looked on coldly from the side and didn't say anything. He just let Seth get into the back seat first, and then he followed. The back seat was clearly for three people, but even with Thor's strong body, it still felt a little crowded. The manic aura he exuded made the taxi driver break out in a cold sweat.
Seth glanced at his right wrist, which Thor was gripping tightly, and sighed. He then said in Norwegian, "With my strength, it's impossible for me to escape from under your nose. Do you have to watch me so closely? Those who don't know might think we're gay. "
Thor sneered, "You've already escaped from under my nose once, and you made me a scapegoat. Do you think I'll give you a second chance?"
"I told you that it was just a regrettable accident. I felt deeply sorry for the death of that … unknown walk-on friend. When I learned that you were wronged, I immediately went to the committee and turned myself in, just to tell them the truth and prove your innocence. But what did I get in return?"
Seth spread out his hands. "I was fine when I was locked up, but you had to rush into my bathroom and kidnap me in front of the committee. Now, both of us have become the target of public criticism. The New and Old Gods are now looking for us. To be honest, I have never encountered such a big battle even when I was at my peak."
"Who told you to kidnap my wife?!" Thor's eyes were wide with anger, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. The driver, who was already a little nervous, almost lost his grip on the steering wheel and rear-ended the bus in front of him.
"I've said it countless times. Your wife's disappearance has nothing to do with me. At that time, I was already living in the organizing committee's special cell, and I had lost my divine power. I was under surveillance 24 hours a day. Before you rushed into the bathroom, I was being admired by a chick from all angles." Seth looked very innocent. "So it's unreasonable for you to blame this on me. Forcing me to find her in one day is even more unreasonable. But even so, I decided to take you to the most likely place to try my luck. Don't you think you should be a little more polite to your new partner?"
"I don't believe your nonsense!" Thor roared. His spittle even crossed the seat and splashed on the rearview mirror in front of him. "If you are innocent, why are you still unwilling to tell me the whereabouts of the Mobile God? And what happened at Copenhagen International Airport? The missing Mechanical God has something to do with you, and recently, the relationship between the new and old gods has been getting more and more tense …"
"I have to interrupt here. I'm not the main person responsible for the recent tension between the new and old gods. It's …" Although Seth didn't say the name directly, his eyes had already fallen on the person in question.
But before the latter could get angry, the God of Chaos quickly said, "In fact, it's not a person's fault that things have developed to this point. It's an inevitability."
"Here we go again with your chaotic theories," Thor said without any hesitation.
Seth didn't seem to mind. He continued, "You have to admit that peace has lasted for far too long, longer than any time in the past."
"That's a good thing. Those who haven't experienced the cruelty of war will never understand the value of peace," Thor said.
"I've been through war, so I agree with you. I believe that the gods in the committee who are as high and mighty as you will agree with you too. However, this world isn't just made up of those high and mighty big shots."
"What are you trying to say?" Thor stared into Seth's eyes and sneered, "Don't you know that no one will buy your bullshit now?"
"For those who live in luxury, order and peace are indeed more precious than gold, but everything has to be looked at from a different perspective. For those who have nothing and are about to starve to death, war and chaos are the only bargaining chips for them to turn things around. They are even the hope of survival," Seth said.
"Nonsense!" Thor said impatiently, "Maybe I should twist your head off now and shut you up completely!"
